I've only just tried this tea recently, and find it absolutely delicious any time of the day. Really refreshing and such a pleasure to drink with a little bit of milk.

I have always enjoyed Orange Pekoe, unaware this was Ceylon tea. I ordered a small size and am so cross with myself that I didn’t get the large one! The flavour is clean and smooth, and I just add more leaves if I want a stronger cup. Delicious - I will be ordering much more!

Growing up, I remember noticing a box of Orange Pekoe tea in my grandmother's pantry, intrigued by the name. Strange I never tried any till now. And I'm an absolute convert. It's not too heavy, just right and perfect for first thing in the morning.

Purchased for my partners mum as her Birthday present being her favourite tea! she absolutely loves it and says it's best orange peako now known as Ceylon Afternoon tea that she has tasted. Thank you so much will definitely purchase again!

Diana West (Australia)

Have always enjoyed Orange Pekoe (now known as Ceylon Afternoon) tea for many years. This is one of the best. As its name suggests, I prefer it in the afternoon, very smooth flavour, not at all sharp like the breakfast teas. My friends like it stronger than I do, so I always have the first cup, leaving the stronger brew for them. One of our favourite occasions, drinking a lovely tea together.

Makes the best cup of tea! very strong or weak, the tea has wonderful flavour and aroma. Since discovering 'Ceylon afternoon' ,this has become our everyday tea.
